Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has struggled mightily this year. Is head coach Shane Steichen considering a QB change in Week 9?
Shane Steichen Address Colts Starting QB
After another poor performance, Richardson’s job might be in jeopardy.
On Monday, Steichen told reporters that the team is “evaluating everything” when asked if Richardson will start for the Colts in Week 9.
Richardson is coming off a Week 8 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans when he completed 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Richardson went into the half completing 2 of 15 passes with a 44.0 passer rating.
Richardson also made headlines when he took himself out of the third quarter for one play, claiming he was “tired.”
Richardson’s 44.4% completion percentage is the worst in the NFL among qualified starters. Richardson’s seven interceptions are also tied for third.
Who Would Start In Anthony Richardson’s Place?
If Richardson is benched, Joe Flacco will start for the Colts.
Flacco has made four appearances this year with a 1-1 record in two starts this season. However, the offense with Flacco compared to Richardson is night and day.
